We’ll leave the intro to this to KTM:
“Limited to only 100 hand-built units, the 2024 KTM RC 8C is set to bring unprecedented levels of performance to the track, complete with unmatched READY TO RACE credentials, with true Grand Prix nods of approval.”
“The KTM RC 8C epitomizes a purpose-driven, featherweight racer propelled by a potent 889 cc parallel-twin engine and fitted with the absolute best in race-ready componentry. This exclusive, track-focused machine, in the most limited numbers ever produced, boasts a bespoke chassis engineered for the circuit, top-of-the-line racing components, and a resolute commitment to the track – embodying the essence of being 100% READY TO RACE.”
“The 2024 KTM RC 8C boasts Carbon Kevlar bodywork inspired by the KTM RC16, with a 135 PS, 889 cc LC8c DOHC 8-valve parallel twin at its heart. This is all bolted to a purpose-built 25CrMo4 steel tubular frame, enhancing its race-readiness with top-tier WP PRO COMPONENTS and a suite of lightweight elements.”
“Crafted hand in hand with Krämer Motorcycles, the KTM RC 8C stands as a testament to their collaborative mastery in sculpting a bona fide racing machine. With features like quick-release tank and body panels, lightweight Dymag wheels, and Pirelli race slicks, this track-only motorcycle leaves no doubt about its intended purpose.”
“Up front, a high-performance 43 mm WP APEX PRO 7543 closed cartridge fork, tailored for track use, delivers unrestricted damping control, catering to the demands of performance-oriented riders and seasoned racers alike. Meanwhile, at the rear, a WP APEX PRO 7746 with a remote preload adjuster ensures precise handling, offering easily tunable high and low-speed compression and rebound settings.”
“Slowing the 2024 KTM RC 8C down are a set of MotoGP™-derived Brembo 19RCS CORSA CORTA radial master brake cylinders orchestrating Brembo Stylema front brake calipers gripping 290 mm fully floating brake discs. A Brembo two-piston caliper paired with a 230 mm fully floating disc handles rear braking duties, reinforced with aluminum rotors and titanium screws for added weight saving.”
This example is VIN: VBKR89433RM877322. The seller purchased the bike November 2024 from G-Force Powersports in Lakewood, Colorado, and states, “Purchased to race and the team has decided to switch to Yamaha.”

“The 2024 KTM RC 8C, developed in collaboration with Krämer Motorcycles, is a limited-edition, track-only superbike designed for uncompromising performance. Limited to just 100 units worldwide, this machine embodies the essence of a Moto2™-level race bike, offering a near 1:1 power-to-weight ratio and cutting-edge components throughout.
The 2024 KTM RC 8C is special largely because it’s not just a factory-built superbike — it’s hand-built by Kramer Motorcycles, a boutique German manufacturer that specializes in ultra-lightweight, track-only race bikes. This collaboration makes the RC 8C unique and highly significant in several ways:
1. Race-Bred Precision: Kramer brings GP-level craftsmanship, and the RC 8C is essentially a turnkey racebike, not a street-legal sportbike adapted for track use. Everything from its geometry to its componentry is optimized for circuit performance.
2. High-End Components: It comes with top-tier parts out of the box — WP APEX PRO suspension, Brembo Stylema brakes, full titanium Akrapovič exhaust, and MotoGP-style switchgear — meaning riders don’t need to invest in aftermarket upgrades to get race-ready performance.
3. Featherweight Engineering: Weighing around 313 lbs (142 kg) dry, the RC 8C achieves superbike power-to-weight ratios using a 135-hp parallel-twin engine (from the 890 Duke R), with meticulous attention to chassis tuning and weight distribution.
4. Limited Production: Only 100–200 units are made per year, making it a collector’s item and ensuring exclusivity. These bikes often sell out within minutes of release.
5. Track-Only Focus: It’s built with no compromises for road use — no emissions systems, lights, or road-legal concessions — allowing engineers to push the envelope in pure performance.
In short, the Kramer-built RC 8C isn’t just a fast bike — it’s a purpose-built, precision instrument for serious track riders and collectors who want Moto2-like performance in a user-friendly package.
